It's been a mostly sunny and rather mild if breezy day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well. Laundered my white coat this morning - amongst other things. Spent the afternoon cutting firewood for as long as I had fuel in the chainsaw. I'd completely used up my supply of cut logs in the garage, so I had to replenish my stock. The trailer is now nearly empty. I will move the last few lengths out, and then later this week, I will go and round up the small i.e. anything less than two inches diameter that Storm Isha has left scattered around the garden. I will be well stocked with kindling and small wood after that.
Really enjoyed my day judging at the Exotic and the Blue-Cream shows. Not a big household pet entry, but a very high quality one. Posted my reports yesterday, and they're already up on the GCCF website at

Highlight of the day was doing the overall Best in Show Household Pet in front of the audience.
I've also been booked to steward at the Coventry and Leicester - I'll be handling a mix of British, Burmese, Asian, Siamese and Orientals. The judge I'll be stewarding for was the steward for the other Household Pet judge on Saturday. I've actually stewarded for this lady before - a memorable occasion because the spiral binder on her judge's book broke apart that particular day, sending paperwork cascading all over the floor, and me scrabbling about under the cat pens to retrieve stuff.
I am about to buy my new printer. I ended up deciding on the mid-range Epson Eco Tank ET-2811 rather than the more basic one, mainly down to the fact that John Lewis customer service is way better than Argos or Currys. Plus I can do a click & collect in Waitrose at a time that suits me.
Anyways, time for a nice
